My client enetered into an agreement with developer in 2008.Per the agreement, she got 4 flats and developer got 4 flats.Now, my query is 1)Whether capital gains arises in this case? If so, what could be the sale consideration - cost of constuction by the builder or stamp duty value of the flats sold by builder? 2)If taxable,can she claim deduction u/s 54 for all 4 flats.

First calculate the cost of the flat sold the sale value of which is as per the sale doc.While arriving at the cost various factors will require careful consideration.
